Not for me. Will never buy anything from these leftist freaks. I’ll stick to Michigan’s own Hudsonville Ice Cream. YUM!

This is one of the few industries than can make it only appealing to one political side... Guess that’s because all the liberal tofu eaters who are trying to ban McDonald’s, secretly eat ice cream in their closets. (do as I say, not as I do - is the new dem mantra.)

Stop buying ice cream from the faggot-loving company. It’s not as if there is a shortage of premium ice cream in America.

I guess Fudge Packers Delight wouldn't have been a good name either.

Hubby Hubby?? The name doesn’t seem very inclusive to lesbians. Sexist Homos who would of thunk!!

Tutti Frutti Ice Cream

Serves: 8 to 10

Ingredients

2 egg whites
120g vanilla-flavoured white caster sugar
300ml double cream
2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon Amaretto di Saronno
60g natural glacé cherries, sliced
60g ready-to-eat dried apricots, diced
30g candied angelica, slivered
30g candied pineapple, sliced
30g candied or preserved ginger, slivered
30g seedless raisins, chopped
60g toasted almonds, slivered
30g pistachios, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fairly dry. Sprinkle over half the sugar and whisk again, then fold in the remaining sugar.

    method

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream until it is starting to thicken. Add the kirsch and Amaretto and continue to whisk until thick but still glossy. Gently fold the egg-white mixture into the cream, then carefully fold in all the chopped fruits and nuts.

    Spoon the mixture into a lidded plastic bowl or container, cover tightly, and freeze for 4-6 hours or until fairly firm, or churn in an ice cream maker for 45 minutes. Serve the ice cream with small wafers or spooned into one large or several small brandy-snap baskets.

I love Ben and Jerry's ice cream, but I no longer buy it. I refuse to give them my money so they can turn around and slap me in the face with it. Giving money to a company like that is like buying your own noose.

“The firm has striven to retain its freethinking reputation despite its 2000 sale to food giant Unilever, and earlier this year marked Barack Obama’s election as US president by renaming one of its nutty ice cream flavours “Yes Pecan”. “

REMEMBER UNILEVER OWNS LIPTON WHICH SPONSORED THE DIXIE CHIX.

Perhaps the suits over at Uniliver need a massive wake up call.

How dare they! The name “Hubby Hubby” implies that the product only endorses male homosexuality. The ACLU should demand an equivalent flavor catering to lesbians!

They should just go all the way and rename “Ben & Jerry’s” to “Ace & Gary’s.”
